I’m driving in to work today and on the radio they’re talking about married women who cheat on their husbands with other women. The talk was about how women justified it and how would the husband feel if he found out. Some of the callers husbands knew and apparently were fine as long as they were aware of it. They just didn’t want the wife sneaking around. I wonder how wives would feel if their husband cheated on them with another man (ewww). There is certainly less stigma attached to seeing women being affectionate toward each other as opposed to seeing two swapping spit.

Personally I think I’d be much less pissed off if my spouse cheated with another woman, not that I’d be happy about it in any case. I view the situation with this analogy. Say I own a hamburger joint. I only sell beef hamburgers…no other type of sandwich. Someone comes up and asks for a chicken sandwich. I tell them I don’t have chicken; I just sell hamburgers. They want chicken so they leave in search of a place that sells chicken. Am I offended? No. That just means they wanted something else. It doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t know how to cook or that my hamburgers aren’t the best around. I think people just want something different sometimes. You could say the same about interracial sex. I don’t necessarily view one race as being better lovers than the other, but it’s fun to have a choice. Variety is the spice of life…although Paprika often gets a bad rap. ) Thoughts? Opinions?
